50 Best Italian Restaurants near Spotswood

“Nunzio’s is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was impeccable—warm, inviting, and full of charm. The customer service was in a league of its own; “amazing” doesn’t even begin to cover it. The staff was incredibly attentive, and their genuine kindness made me feel so welcome.

The owner himself, is the heart and soul of this place. He’s so humble, down-to-earth, and clearly pours love into every dish he prepares. You can truly taste the passion and care in the food—it was absolutely fantastic. Every bite left me wanting more, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

The prices are unbelievably reasonable for the quality of the food and the experience. Every dish I tried was worth every single penny, and I can only imagine the rest of the menu is just as outstanding.

This was the most amazing experience I’ve had in a long time, and I can’t recommend Nunzio’s enough to anyone in the area. Do yourself a favor and make this your next stop—you won’t regret it!“

“Our favorite date night spot!! From the moment you enter- elegant atmosphere, warm faces and nice music set the tone for a wonderful night. Anthony the owner makes you feel like you’re the only diners there- making sure you’re enjoying yourself, getting your food in a timely manner and making it special. He is such a kind generous man. The servers Faith, Carson, and JoJo are absolutely incredible- they are knowledgeable about the food, friendly, and their work ethic is incredible for such young people. They truly made our night special! The food is the star- best rice balls we’ve ever had!! We have been dreaming of them ever since! The homemade burrata, meatballs and eggplant were also just amazing. We had the homemade gnocchi and chicken scarpiello- again the best we’ve ever had We are locals and try to get here as often as we can for date night- and we are always so amazed how it continues to be just 5 star every time. It’s a special, special place and we are lucky to have such a gem in our small town. Thank you Anthony & Heather!“

“We had an amazing meal a few weeks ago at Luca’s! We were greeted and seated and waited on promptly. We brought our own wine in which they had no problem opening for us. The food was out of this world. Their meatball appetizer is everything you’ve heard and then some. Incredible sauce, bread service, and our meals were excellent. My partner had the octopus for an appetizer and said it was incredible. Both of our meals were amazing and served timely and piping hot. I had the chicken marsala with mushroom risotto, delicious! And he had the veal saltimbocca. The service was prompt, pleasant and just perfect, and the atmosphere is lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Drove from Cleveland to a meeting in NYC, specifically had a layover in New Brunswick, just to have dinner. This was my second trip for dinner in two months and it exceeded all expecations, the hoilday decor transformed the second floor. The service (Regan) was on point, pleasant and efficient with out being over bearing. The meal was the single greatest pasta dish I have had in the U.S. (wild boar ravioli) Already making plans to return, if you are with in a days drive, you really have no excuse not to enjoy a meal with them.“

“Great Atmosphere! Service was amazing! Waitress was super nice and suggested good food! Ordered stuffed Ziti Fritta which was amazing appetizer, salad, chicken and Gnocchi soup were good, create your own pasta with rigatoni, chicken and five cheese sauce was also delicious. Stuffed chicken marsala that we ordered was average. Finally don’t forget the mint chocolate to finish it off. 😊“

“Such a nice little restaurant. We were looking for somewhere to eat while heading out for the night and google had this place on the list. Italian food with amazing flavor!! Staff was wonderful, friendly, and helpful! Prices were mid range and great for two, but a large family might be a bit out of range. Portions size made up for the extra cost in my mind. Will go back next time we are in the area.“

“Always great food and staff. I love the menu and can’t wait to go back again.“

“This was our first time dining at Bello's and the place was clean and family friendly. We ordered fried mushrooms which were previously frozen and not very good and I had the buffalo wings which were average with little flavor. We both had a salad which was good and then a bar pie and eggplant parmesan which was good.“

“Food is always good, people are friendly the only problem I had is outside of this. Today when I paid I used my debit card instead of paying cash like I have every other time this was around 12:15pm today. The employee made a big deal about it being a NASA Card (my mom worked at Nasa & I have had an account there since 10th grade) By 1:30pm someone had attempted to use my card for a $1,339 AT&T purchase that was declined three times then used some Delta D account to charge $799.60 and unfortunately the second attempt work. I just came from the location and and all I had was smoke blown up my but. Either an employee or patron did something and they have a camera inside the store but was told the owner has the key. If the owner would just let me know when he will be there I will show up and we can handle this like gentlemen. I have been going to this place for over 5 years and work near by. For the record the card has been cancelled and NASA is tracking where charges are being attempted from. Paul“

“Amazing food and staff. Always a great experience!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“We celebrated our daughter's 19th birthday at Victoria's. Let me just say Vinny and team made us feel so warm and welcomed. The atmosphere reminded me of how restaurants used to be when I was a kid, growing up in NY. Top notch customer service and the icing on the cake.. food was amazing. We ordered appetizers including the baked wings and buttermilk fried calamari which was delicious. We had pasta dishes including carbonara, penne vodka and even gnocchi. All of which were amazing. As well as desserts . The waiter was amazing too. This is now our new favorite spot! Thank you Victoria's for a memorable evening ❤️“

“Very good food. God service .“

“I ordered a large pizza with sausage. It was tasty, the kind of pizza you crave after a day of working on stuff that makes your kitchen not usable. The only drawback was the crust was a little lacking in texture and depth of flavor, a bit stiff and airy rather than that perfect mix of crispy outside, chewy inside with a well developed flavor.“

“Usually pick up pizza to go never disappointed in the quality and service.“

“It’s a beautiful restaurant. Extremely affordable and the food was outstanding!!“

“Mr. Subs was recommended to me by many people and ever since I tried their subs I wouldn’t go anywhere else to get a sandwich. High quality service and preparation, the workers are personable and very friendly. Never fails to exceed expectations. Definitely recommend.“

“Passing by the area and came across this pizza place was a little sceptical about the place was pleasantly surprised. Ordered the chicken keema pizza and panner tikka and chicken 65 food and Limca( Indian soda) highly recommended with pizza. Everything was fresh and very flavorful definitely coming back here when I’m in the area.“

“The most delicious food you can eat with a very good atmosphere, reasonable prices and a friendly staff specially the owner is so helpful if you want to make an event don’t hesitate to make it there , I’ve made my sister’s birthday there and we were so satisfied with this decision TOTALLY RECOMMEND!!!Thank you La Rosetta and to all the staff there♥️“
